Default [WR] RE-FZRASH 23/0900Z West Moors/E.Dorset

... (23/0800Z): short light shower of *rain*, freezing on impact:
extensive hoar frost. Ice all untreated surfaces.

Current OAT -3.0°C, having been down to -4.1°C overnight. Deep,
vigorous convective towers visible to south & east (lit by imminent
sunrise).



.... (23/0900Z): another period of freezing rain - all untreated
surfaces (and some that had been so), are now covered with ice;
worst/best case I've seen since the 1985.

OAT currently -1.2°C

A338 Bournemouth - Ringwood (a major feeder/connecting road
hereabouts) shut in both directions for past couple of hours due
multiple accidents over ice.

Martin.
